Carlos Hyde 6-0, 230 out of OSU is turning heads in San Fan. Can a rehabbing Lattimore get healthy fast enough to compete for a spot on the 49er backfield while Hyde is going full speed ahead? The bruising OSU RB has been a fearsome pass target out the backfield as well.
Lattimore has been absent from the teams web site news blog since nursing muscle soreness around his knee a few weeks ago in OTAs. Lattimore will be in Columbia this weekend so hopefully we can hear from the RB himself about how his 1st season as a 49er is progressing.
It looks like SF drafted Hyde and Lattimore in the hopes that one will emerge as a force in a power running game this fall. Will SF keep both? It depends on how fast Lattimore gets up to speed but no doubt he has competition.

http://www.49ers.com/ I did not get it from a single article. I have been reading the 49er web site as my post clearly stated. I have been following Lattimore's progress for a month. My post is a synopsis of a months reading. You can go back through their archives and see what I have been reading if you like. I thought I might save you some time and effort though and tell you what the web site has been saying.

Isn't this technically Lattimore's second season as a 49er?

Given the age of Gore and the uncertainty of James, I can't imagine them even thinking of letting Lattimore go.

They also have Kendall Hunter who proved to be a good change of pace back to gore.

But mostly Kaepernick and Gore were getting the chances to run the ball.

It looks like Carlos Hyde is a definite keeper already. Lattimore will need more time. I am unaware if he is where he wants to be physically. That has not been determined yet. It looks like he is being patient until he is physically acclimated. SF knows his potential and his situation. Hyde has the advantage of being healthy now. A SF offense with a healthy Hyde and a healthy Lattimore could win a super bowl. There is big drama in these two RBs.

How does that clearly state you were reading the 49er website? It sounded more like a campy Batman episode. Can Lattimore get healthy enough? Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat day!

Well yea Nardier; I made my post humorous and informative. I'm surprised you caught that. What is it that you really want to argue about? I don't get it man. Settle down. If you know anything about the SF 49s tell us.

James isn't happy with his role and at one point, wasn't in voluntary camps as I recall hearing. If he and Gore go, that's Hunter, Lattimore and Hyde. A good three for sure but that's a standard rotation these days.

both lattimore and hyde will definitely be on the team. james would probably be the first one to go if all the backs are healthy. what he's shown so far is the most you'll ever get out of him. lattimore, hyde, and hunter all have much higher ceilings on this level as nfl backs. i wonder what weight lattimore is going to try to play at.
